Russian Railways JSC (RZD) started its 28 year reinvestment and modernisation programme in 2002. It is planned to last until 2030 and during this period it is anticipated that some £276 billion investment will be injected into the company.

Russia’s construction market, though having suffered during the global economic crisis, is on the rebound and is expected to grow in 2011 year-on-year. As a result, more projects will be available for implementing green-building techniques, technologies, and materials.
